The Meet the Baby Party!

We woke up to a chilly day on Saturday October 2nd - but we were super excited for Genevieve's 'Meet the Baby' party hosted by Joni & Kevin!

Joni had these awesome M&M's customised for Genna!!

Too cool :)

Beautiful decorations were all over the place




Joni made these fancy little mint covers too

TOO cute!


The lovely sign



And the amazing cupcakes made by Jani & Jolie



Aren't they amazing?

The bodies are marshmellows, the heads are malted milk balls


Not only did they look amazing - they also tasted amazing!

Eeeeeek!

The spread - lots of wonderful food and AWESOME pulled pork sandwiches for the main!

The star of the day, all bundled up in a cute outfit from Great Grandma Sis as it turned out to be an unusually cold day!

Genevieve's First Boat Trip!

The weather was amazing this weekend so we decided to go out on a boat ride

Genna loved her new sunglasses :)

Oh Hello there!

It was a lovely early evening and the lake was quiet - not many people out - so unusual to have 80f (25c) weather in October - fab!

My Grandma, Genna's Great-Grandma Sis & Genna & Me

Brock (my parent's dog) tried to sneak in this photo of Mom, Me & Genna

A lovely autumn evening

Someone fell asleep in my lap cluthing sunglasses - must have been the boat motor noise - so realxing

Cutie Pie

Gotta love those lashes

Genevieve's first trip to America

Waiting at the gate in Sydney to get on the plane

I'm glad we brought a pillow so she could sleep on my lap if she wanted to

She has never take a pacifier - but as soon as the flight started to take off, she finished eating so we tried the pacifier to keep her sucking to pop her ears and she fell asleep with it! wow (of course this was the only time for the whole trip that she took it - but whatever works)

Murray walking Genna - she was a chick magnet - they'd surround him when he was up walking around with her

Our second flight from LA to Minneapolis was a lot more crowded - but we made do with our pillow!
All in all, a great trip. She didn't cry (other than diaper changes in the restroom) and she slept a LOT of our big flight (the first 6 hours! amazing). Fingers crossed the trip back goes this smoothly!
